Governors – Gas & Diesel


While many Caterpillar engines utilize advanced electronic control systems,
with integrated engine speed governing capabilities, there are many Caterpillar
engines, both gas and diesel, that require the use of separate engine speed
governing systems. This section of the Application and Installation Guide
discusses governor basics, various governor types and governor features.
Engine speed governing systems associated with the advanced electronic
control systems are addressed in the Diesel Engine Control Systems and Gas
Engine Control and Ignition Systems sections of the Application & Installation
Guide.

Governors – Gas & Diesel Application and Installation Guide

Governor Basics
The engine governor in its simplest
form controls engine speed. To select
the correct governor for a particular
application, governor capabilities must
be understood. The following terms
are commonly encountered when
describing governors.
Droop
Droop describes the relationship of
engine speed change from no load
(high idle) to full load (rated) in steady
state operation. It is the rpm loss
experienced when a load is applied to
an engine operating at a fixed throttle
position.
Expressed as a percentage, droop is
calculated as follows.
(No-load speed – Full-load speed) x
% Droop = 100
Full-load speed
Figure 1
Figure 1 and Figure 2 describe
various degrees of droop for both
generator and industrial applications.
The percent droop remains constant Industrial Applications
and independent of operator speed
change. Percent droop will not change
if the operator moves the throttle
position because the change affects
the full load speed. Although the full-
load rpm will change, the relationship
(% droop) between full-load and no-
load will not change.
Many applications can easily accept
some speed droop. This allows the
use of a less costly and less complex Figure 2
governor and still allows, in generator
sets, the capability of paralleling with
other units. Isochronous

adjustment of stability and response. System
The combination of the Flo-Tech
speed control and the Flo-Tech 68
actuator with integral throttle, shown in
Figure 7, offers improved stability and
response over the former actuator and
control. Flo-Tech offers flow-shaping
which optimizes the flow of the fuel
mixture into the cylinders. This
enhancement addresses the flow
variability of the standard throttle body.
The Flo-Tech 68 governing system is
designed to provide basic isochronous
speed control for gas engines.
Engines with mechanical loads and
generator loads are handled equally
well. This governing system is
Figure 6 standard on all G3406 engines used
for electric power generation.

Caterpillar Programmable
Electronic Engine Control (PEEC)
The Caterpillar Programmable
Electronic Engine Control (PEEC)
utilizes an Electronic Control Module
(ECM) that drives a Brushless Torque
Motor (BTM). This system controls the
rack position and drives a fuel shutoff
valve for absolute control of fuel to the
engine. Desired engine speed and
droop are received by the ECM
through Pulse Width Modulated
(PWM) inputs and are held within
tolerances for isochronous and droop
mode. The proper amount of fuel is
delivered through the fuel system
based on these calculations. For

additional (optional) module is

to the EMCP is via a PWM converter. Woodward 8290/524 and 8290/1724

Forward Acting
When the control signal is lost at the
actuator, the EGB actuator goes to the
fuel shut-off position. A pneumatic
start assist puts the actuator under
ballhead control when supplied with
690 to 1655 kPa (100 to 240 psi)
control air.
Reverse Acting
When the control signal is lost at the
actuator, the engine speed increases
to approximately 25 rpm above rated,
no-load speed and the ballhead mode
switch closes electrical contacts when
the ballhead back-up is controlling the
engine.
CAUTION: Setting the ballhead speed
affects the amount of load the engine
carries during ballhead operation.
Energized-To-Shutdown (ETS) and
Energized-To-Run (ETR) fuel shut-off
systems, in conjunction with forward
and reverse acting actuator options,
allow a wide variety of shut down
actions to occur in the event of various
signal losses.
When an ETS system loses control
voltage, the governor shutoff solenoid
will allow the engine to continue to run
under the control of the 2301A. The
emergency-stop button must be used
to shut the engine down. A reverse
acting and a direct acting actuator will
behave the same with an ETS system.
Use of the ETR system introduces
the possibility of a brownout or
blackout; this is not present using the
ETS system.

Step 2: Remainder of load.
Full load pickup for engines rated above 800 kPa (116

classification. For dropping a load, 100% is used.
Note: Above 116 psi (800 kPa), the ISO guideline is
actually a sliding scale. Only at a 180 psi (1240 kPa)
rating is the recommended first load step 64%. Then,
for example, as the rating increases above 196 psi
(1350 kPa) the first step is only 60% and a third load
step is recommended to achieve 100% loading.
